Moving Forward
Well, the holding pattern is breaking a little. My emergency School Media Specialist cert has been issued and should be here soon. I'm trying to find out definitely when I can start work. My guess is next week, right after the holiday. Which still gives me four weeks before school's out. Which is better than nothing.
And...I received a letter yesterday from my first publisher, returning the rights to me for my first two books, Talisman of Zandria and Return to Zandria.
I'm kind of sad about this. These were my first two novels, and my first publisher, and it feels like the end of an era, sort of. I learned a lot writing them, and since writing them. Kids still buy them, mostly from me at events, and they love them. So I'm wondering if I should let them go or try to find them a new home. I think I could do a lot to improve them, knowing what I know now, though the stories are good themselves. Hmm...I may be making some inquiries about re-prints... If not, I can always rewrite them myself and put them up for sale on Amazon or something. Though
that's way more work than I have time for now, I think.
Things to think about...
